Although its near the completion of the challenge, its still not too late to register your child if they are interested in the challenge. 

Please download and read the Parent Letter and return the registration form to the Library. 

It can be downloaded from the school's website - "Communications/Notes/2024 PRC Parent Letter".  

Even if you child has participated in previous years, we still require the registration form to be completed. 

Reading from 01 September 2023 to 22 August 2024 is eligible to be counted. 

The closing date for entering books on the website is 23 August 2024. 

BOOK WEEK

CBCA Book Week is coming up in Week 5 of term 3 (17-23 August).

We will hold our annual Book Week Parade at each campus: 

Wed 21/08 Macquoid St campus

Fri 23/08 Lowe St campus at 9.10am

So, time to start thinking about a character to dress up as. Look in your dress up box, wardrobe or the local Op-Shops for inspiration. 

Costumes don’t need to be elaborate or expensive and the most imaginative ones are often ‘put together’ or constructed at home. 

No prizes are awarded for costumes we just encourage everyone to dress up and join in the fun.

Its time to RRRRROAR for reading! 

The Dino-mite Scholastic Book Fair is coming to St Greg's Lowe St Library in week 7 (03-06 Sept)!

BOOK CLUB

The latest Book Club catalogue will be sent home this week for Macquoid St students only. 

As the Book Fair is coming to Lowe St, the catalogues will not be issued to Lowe St students. 

Orders are due by Friday 23 August. 

The ordering is only available through LOOP - Linked Online Ordering and Payment. This means that we will not accept orders or payment at the school - this must all be done online. Please do NOT send cash to school. 

All orders are then sent directly to the school for submission to Scholastic. 

Books will be delivered to your child's classroom if you order by the close date. 

If you miss this close off date, you can choose to have home delivery at additional cost. 

There is no need to return any order forms or payment details back to the school.
